Predictive factors for forgotten joints after direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundResearch indicates that the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) for Total Hip Replacement (THA) may achieve a higher degree of joint oblivion compared to other approaches. However, the factors predicting postoperative joint awareness following DAA-THA remain unclear.
methodsIn this retrospective research, 165 patients with hip osteoarthritis who underwent DAA-THA at our hospital between 2020 and 2022 were selected, with a minimum postoperative follow-up of 2 years. Patients were categorized into the Forgotten Joint Group and Non-Forget Joint Group based on their response to the Patients' Joint Perception (PJP) anchor question. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed using preoperative and intraoperative factors as potential predictors. Postoperative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were excluded from the final multivariate model to avoid circularity.
resultsA total of 165 patients were included in the data analysis. The Forgotten Joint Group comprised 29 patients, and the Non-Forgotten Joint Group 136 patients. Preoperative radiographic severity(Kellgren-Lawrence grade), bone mass, and change in femoral offset (ΔFO) showed significant difference (P < 0.001).No significant differences were observed in gender, age, surgical side, BMI, albumin, smoking, drink, ASA grade, or VAS score (P > 0.05). According to the multivariate logistic regression model, preoperative radiographic severity was associated with "Forgotten Joint" [OR = 1.720 (95% CI:1.110-2.696), p = 0.002], Osteoporosis was associated with a lower likelihood of "Forgotten Joint" [OR = 0.205 (95% CI: 0.075-0.523), p = 0.001] and ΔFO was positively associated with "Forgotten Joint" within a certain range [OR = 1.520 (95% CI: 1.225-1.891), p = 0.001].
conclusionThis study indicates that poorer preoperative radiographic scores were associated with lower joint awareness, whereas osteoporosis was associated with higher joint awareness. Furthermore, a greater femoral offset reconstruction within the normal range was associated with achieving a forgotten joint.
